On Monday, WSDOT maintenance crews and Washington State Parks will remove large hazardous rocks from Beacon Rock above SR 14, just west of North Bonneville at Beacon Rock State Park
SKAMANIA – Travelers who use State Route 14 in Skamania County should expect delays.
On Monday, Aug. 18, the Washington State Department of Transportation maintenance crews and Washington State Parks will remove large hazardous rocks from Beacon Rock above SR 14, just west of North Bonneville at Beacon Rock State Park.
Heavy rain and wind can loosen large rocks on hillsides, causing them to fall into the travel lanes of the highway. Removing these rocks helps prevent crashes and road closures, keeping travelers safe.
What to expect
- Monday, Aug. 18: Eastbound travelers on SR 14 near Beacon Rock State Park (mileposts 34.7 to 34.9) will take turns moving through a single lane from 8-10 a.m.
- Flaggers will direct travelers through the area.
For everyone’s safety please slow down, stay focused, expect delays, and follow flaggers direction.
